16.1, Due November 30

1) Honestly, I am throughly confused.  I am not sure that I really understand how the elliptic curves are even used to factor integers.  I really don't even understand the difference between elliptic integrals and elliptic curves.
2)I think once I understand how this helps us to factor integers, that will be the most interesting part to me, because as of now it is just confusing.  I think it is pretty cool that from an two points on the curve, we can produce a third point on the curve.
